    How pay-per-use solutions work

    DLL's financing experts work closely with suppliers and customers to develop customized solutions, following these basic steps:

    1. Customer wants to make payments based on how the asset will be used
    2. DLL creates a usage-based payment structure for the supplier and customer*
    3. Customer receives the asset with usage tracking in place
    4. Supplier and customer both receive usage data and analytics
    5. Customer makes payments based on usage data*

    *Usage metrics vary by solution; types of usage metrics include, but are not limited to, hours of use, number of copies, size of cloud storage or surgical procedures performed.

    Pay-per-use trends in the marketplace

    Each industry, business and asset have unique financing and payment needs. Pay-per-use models can be structured in a variety of ways, three common models in the marketplace include:

    Subscription
    Payment for the usage of a specified asset with a fixed periodic payment in the form of a flat fee or an agreed-upon minimum usage level. Subscription can be measured in hours, kilometers, cycles, or output for example.

    On-Demand
    Payment for the usage of a specified asset without a fixed payment. If usage is zero, payments are also zero. On-demand aligns well with consumable products, delivered through use of the assets, and can be measured by cups of coffee, blades, or IV sets for example.

    Performance
    Payment for the output or service generated by a specified unit; this is an outcome-based approach. Performance can be measured by surgical procedures, Mb of data, or processes completed where performance is measured for example.
